The magic of colors | DW Documentary

2026 · 28 min · English

From a Cambridge lab engineering microbes to dye fabric without toxic runoff to a German mill still grinding pigment from stone the way the Louvre's restorers require it, this film tracks color from source to studio. It also visits a Dutch designer who reworks hospital interiors around hues shown to ease blood pressure and mood.
